Hypermethylated genes as biomarkers of breast cancer
Hypermethylated genes are emerging as some of the most promising, practical and powerful biomarkers for breast cancer detection and perhaps even of risk assessment. We have assembled a panel of methylated gene detection markers and tested them by Quantitative Multiplex Methylation-Specific PCR (QM-MSP) in breast cancer. Here we two pilot studies: 1) detection of cancer in DNA from spontaneous n...
متن کاملImaging, Diagnosis, Prognosis Hypermethylated Genes as Biomarkers of Cancer in Women with Pathologic Nipple Discharge
Purpose: In a pilot study of women with pathologic nipple discharge (PND) undergoing ductoscopy, we tested quantitative assessment of gene promoter hypermethylation using quantitative multiplex methylation–specific PCR (QM-MSP) to enhance detection of duct carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Experimental Design: Women with PND underwent ductoscopy; ducts with significant lesions were surgically resected ...

متن کاملVery high frequency of hypermethylated genes in breast cancer metastasis to the bone, brain, and lung.
PURPOSE Most often it is not the primary tumor, but metastasis to distant organs that results in the death of breast cancer patients. To characterize molecular alterations in breast cancer metastasis, we investigated the frequency of hypermethylation of five genes (Cyclin D2, RAR-beta, Twist, RASSF1A, and HIN-1) in metastasis to four common sites: lymph node, bone, brain, and lung. EXPERIMENT...
متن کاملMethylated genes as new cancer biomarkers.
Aberrant hypermethylation of promoter regions in specific genes is a key event in the formation and progression of cancer. In at least some situations, these aberrant alterations occur early in the formation of malignancy and appear to be tumour specific. Multiple reports have suggested that measurement of the methylation status of the promoter regions of specific genes can aid early detection ...
